MY STEP-MOTHER IS A BEAUTIFUL KYUUBI

Naruto didn't have to wait long before Xiao Yue came back with so many good looking snacks. She put them on the table and said that these were his rewards.

"Na'er, before you eat these snacks, I need you to come with me to meet my father-in-law first. He accepted to help integrate you into the clan. And don't worry. You can leave this place whenever you want, but if you want to stay here, there is something you have to do first."

Naruto nodded. He chose to stay here if possible. He didn't know where he was right now. But he was sure that he wasn't anywhere near Konoha.

Xiao Yue brought Naruto with her toward the big house near the house he was in.

Naruto was amazed by how big and spacious the Xiao Clan was. And there were so many houses that he could say it almost reached the level of the small village.

They passed through a big entrance and arrived at the courtyard, which had a beautiful garden in the center.

In the beautiful garden, there was an old man sitting on a wooden stool while watching the birds fly around.

"Father-in-law, here he is."

The old man stopped looking at the birds and turned to look at Naruto. He smiled gently and said to him.

"My name is Xiao Lie. Yue'er has told me about you. I am very sorry to say that I have never seen yellow hair and blue eyes like yours before. Your village must be located in a very faraway place. But do not worry about anything. I have decided to accept you into the clan. However, you need to do something first. It is just for formality."

Xiao Lie told Naruto to come closer to him as he wanted to check his profound vein. He wanted to know if Naruto was able to cultivate or not.

Naruto did as he was asked to. He kept looking at Xiao Yue. She said it was okay to trust him.

Xiao Lie didn't mind about Naruto being wary of him, as Xiao Yue had told him about what must have happened to Naruto in the past.

He checked on Naruto's profound vein and was greatly shocked.

"All of his profound entrances are opened! He has Heavenly God's spiritual veins!"

Xiao Yue heard that and was shocked as well. This meant that Naruto was destined for greatness. He won't ever face any bottlenecks in his cultivation journey.

Naruto didn't know anything about what they were saying. He didn't have the slightest idea of what Daji had been doing for him. She had opened all of the profound entrances for him and even let some of her primodial Qi run through his vein.

If he ever started cultivating. His realm would be elevated quickly, so he would have a means to protect himself in this world.

"We must keep this secret from anyone. Otherwise, danger might find its way to him."

Xiao Lie said it seriously. He couldn't perceive the primodial Qi, as it was too profound for him. He only knew that Naruto's profound vein was something that could bring harm to him if someone with bad intentions found out about it.

"Yes, father-in-law."

Xiao Lie nodded his head. He looked at Naruto and explained to him what they were talking about. He must know about the danger so he can be prepared for it. He must be very careful from now on.

"With this, you are officially a member of the Xiao Clan. I will give you the identity badge later and will also inform everyone about you so no one will misunderstand."

Xiao Lie stood up from the wooden stool, but before he went to the main hall, he told Xiao Yue to teach Naruto the basic cultivation technique. It wasn't heavy duty, so he could leave it to her.

When Xiao Lie was gone, Xiao Yue looked at Naruto and said,

"Na'er, let's go back to our house. I will teach you how to start cultivating profound energy."

"Our home?"

"Yes, that house would be your home from now on as well. So come with me."

Naruto nodded slowly. He felt very happy.

'I finally have a home! I don't know where this place is, but I think it is better than Konoha.' 

He didn't know what the profound energy was, but he could tell that it might be similar to Chakra. And if he could use profound energy, doesn't that mean he could become a Ninja?

Being a ninja was his dream. If he became a very powerful Ninja, No one would dare to bully him again.
